LAS VEGAS -- October 22, 2003 -- Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), pioneer and world leader of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) digital wireless technology, today announced the winners of the first annual 3G cdmA-List™ Awards. After receiving more than 120 nominations from leading companies, public agencies and non profit organizations, and announcing 34 finalists, the judges have selected 11 winners whose wireless data solutions were based on third-generation (3G) CDMA2000 wireless networks.

Two awards - one for innovation and the other for impact - were presented for each of the five categories represented: small, medium and large companies, public agencies and non profit organizations. The A-List Innovation Award was presented to winners demonstrating creative concept and approach for their wireless data solution, as well as innovation expressed through a unique adaptation to an existing wireless deployment, or as a completely new solution.

The A-List Impact Award honored organizations for their respective wireless data solutions demonstrating meaningful results and that have made a significant financial, humanitarian or industry impact. Additionally, there was a Best of Show Award presented to the organization setting the best example and compelling other companies, public agencies and non profit organizations, to take advantage of CDMA2000 wireless mobility.

"The selection process was highly competitive as all of the finalists and winners presented strong nominations," said Jan Dehesh, vice president of enterprise market development for Qualcomm. "It is a testament that organizations of all types and sizes can leverage CDMA2000 technology to advance their processes and gain a competitive edge by having the ability to access their critical business applications with broad geographic coverage, and consistently viable data rates. Some of these companies have based their customer facing operations on the viability and speeds of CDMA2000 networks."

By deploying CDMA2000, some of the winners have demonstrated up to 50 percent increase in employee productivity and other winners were able to reduce lag time for data collection in the field by more than 30 days, thereby improving customer service and operations. One winner was also able to leverage the speeds and broad coverage of CDMA2000 to improve its customer response time by several hours, which helped them identify new revenue opportunities in the field.
